Having done them for the past 10 years, from the Salon to the Entertainment Industry, they are the most effective way to achieve length, texture, and of course, body!

Please NOTE:

Once and for all, extensions are NOT bad for anyone unless
you mistreat them and don't take the time to take care of them.

I've seen
disaster after disaster when clients haven't taken care of them, Dreadlocks to the 10th power!

The following below are the explanations and MY suggestions for each one of the methods I provide:

Sewn-In Tracks/ Skin Tape Extensions

Better
suited for clients who wish to have a temporary look, about 6-8 weeks
before I take them out and re-do them, with one tightening at the 3rd
week mark.

-Once put in, wait 48
hrs. before washing hair again so the extension hair can get acclimated
to your hair.

-I recommend washing
your hair only ONCE A WEEK, the rest of the day's, just rinse with
water.

-Always use conditioner and
water in a spray bottle to detangle before you wash your hair.

-Once you wash your hair, shampoo only the hair that has not
been sewn in, stand under the shower head to rinse thru the rest of the
hair, repeat the same procedure with conditioner.

-After all is said and done, make sure to always dry your
hair, never put it in a bun or go to sleep with it wet, it will tangle
into a huge mess!!

-Once it's dry,
and make sure you don't pull while drying it, then you should finish off
with "AFTER PARTY" by Bed Head (Suggestion recommended by my
friend/client and Arista Recording Artist

Paula Deanda)

-Now
you're ready to curl, flat iron, or do whatever it is you'd like to your
hair : )

Cinderella Hair Extensions (Individual Bonded)
&

Copper Linked (Individual
Clamped)

Better suited for
clients who wish to have a long term look,
about 4-6 months, and in that 4-6 months we switch out some of the old
hair with new hair. For Cinderella, we order enough bundles to last us
at least 8 months, and with Hair Locs, we can re-use the hair as long as
they're in tact and have not lost their hair within the bond.

-Once put in, wait 48 hrs. before washing hair again so the
extension hair can get acclimated to your hair.

-With both these methods you can wash your hair as many times
as you'd like, just make sure you're careful with going in between the
Bonds and/or Locs.

-ALWAYS blow dry
your hair after your wash and condition, if not, then the bonds will
turn white, harden, and fall out. The Locs will have a tendency of
knotting and falling out.

-Once it's
dry, and make sure you don't pull or tug while drying them, then you
should finish off with "AFTER PARTY" by Bed Head (Suggestion
recommended by my friend/client and Arista Recording Artist Paula
Deanda)

-Now
you're ready to curl,
flat iron, or do whatever it is you'd like to your hair : )

The following companies are
the BEST hair I've ever tried and the reason why I keep going back is
because my clients love it and they get to keep their hair and re-use it
for a long period of time:
